I was looking at that and wondering myself.

We kept on looking whether Ospreys was offside which he clearly was. There is no way he could have seen the ball over the line from an on side position.

Secondly exactly as you mention the Bulls 9 had his hands on the ball the whole time which at the very least would have made it a carried back 5m scrum instead they said no it's a try.

Exactly - unless the rule is that the defending player must clearly indicate that he is dotting the ball down with some form of obvious downward pressure, as opposed to that he is trying to pick it up - rule is not clear to me. Just find it quite interesting.
 
Edinburgh may do a number of the Stormers yet if they are not careful. The Stormers are likely to face Ulster if they do make it and we all know Ulster should have won the last time the teams played so that's extra motivation for them.

Let's hope the Stormers don't find themselves in that position again.

Early kick-off for the Bulls v Sharks. The Sharks is that one team that can somehow make the final and then lose 40-0 in the final.
 
Jam packed weekend.

7's. the Blitz Bokke did good today. 3 out of 3 wins.

Champions Cup final.

Curry cup
 
What an intense final.

Congrats to La Rochelle.
 
Sigh the Blitz Boks just know how to give you a bit of hope and then crash out.

Where they back to full strength? I thought they had lost 1 or 2 players due to injury in Toulouse?

We still top of the table, with one final tournament to go....

We were 2nd but we scored some points in London to bring us back.

We are lucky that Argentina didn't make the QF so they didn't get as much points.

Not sure about injuries, my question is, have all the top rugby playing nations been participating the entire season?

Only a few points seperating the top 3 teams, and we only 2 points ahead of Aus, so next round in LA is the cruncher.

At this stage it's anyone's title.

Anyone else waiting to hear if they got tickets for the Springboks vs Wales in CPT on 16th July?
Ticket ballot is today
 
Stormers vs Edinburgh, 10-10 after 40 minutes, either side could take it at this point.

All credit to Darcy who played superbly, made it look so effortless, swooping in and stealing the ball passed backwards to offload , denying us a second try just before half time from behind their try line!
 
Stormers win comfortably 28-17( Ewan Roos deserves a mention for his outstanding play at no.8) also through to the semi finals.

Who would have imagined 2 SA teams would make it this far looking at our performances at the start of the tournament last year.
